near and far
Across all ranges
Near and far describes all places or distances, from closest to most remote—everywhere, in other words.
The phrase emphasizes completeness of range: People came from near and far to attend the festival.
It often carries a slightly literary or emphatic quality, suggesting broad reach or universal scope.
